[PATCH] Fix ipc entries removal

2006-11-03T20:27:56Z

Fix two issuses related to ipc_ids->entries freeing. 1. When freeing ipc namespace we need to free entries allocated with ipc_init_ids(). 2. When removing old entries in grow_ary() ipc_rcu_putref() may be called on entries set to &ids->nullentry earlier in ipc_init_ids(). This is almost impossible without namespaces, but with them this situation becomes possible. Found during OpenVZ testing after obvious leaks in beancounters.

[PATCH] Rework of IPC auditing

2006-05-01T10:10:04Z

1) The audit_ipc_perms() function has been split into two different functions: - audit_ipc_obj() - audit_ipc_set_perm() There's a key shift here... The audit_ipc_obj() collects the uid, gid, mode, and SElinux context label of the current ipc object. This audit_ipc_obj() hook is now found in several places. Most notably, it is hooked in ipcperms(), which is called in various places around the ipc code permforming a MAC check. Additionally there are several places where *checkid() is used to validate that an operation is being performed on a valid object while not necessarily having a nearby ipcperms() call. In these locations, audit_ipc_obj() is called to ensure that the information is captured by the audit system. The audit_set_new_perm() function is called any time the permissions on the ipc object changes. In this case, the NEW permissions are recorded (and note that an audit_ipc_obj() call exists just a few lines before each instance). 2) Support for an AUDIT_IPC_SET_PERM audit message type. This allows for separate auxiliary audit records for normal operations on an IPC object and permissions changes. Note that the same struct audit_aux_data_ipcctl is used and populated, however there are separate audit_log_format statements based on the type of the message. Finally, the AUDIT_IPC block of code in audit_free_aux() was extended to handle aux messages of this new type. No more mem leaks I hope ;-) Signed-off-by: Al Viro

[PATCH] IPC: access to unmapped vmalloc area in grow_ary()

2006-04-18T01:40:40Z

grow_ary() should not copy struct ipc_id_ary (it copies new->p, not new). Due to this, memcpy() src pointer could hit unmapped vmalloc page when near page boundary. Found during OpenVZ stress testing Signed-off-by: Alexey Kuznetsov Signed-off-by: Kirill Korotaev Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

BUG_ON() Conversion in ipc/util.c

2006-03-31T23:20:23Z

this changes if() BUG(); constructs to BUG_ON() which is cleaner, contains unlikely() and can better optimized away. Signed-off-by: Eric Sesterhenn Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

[PATCH] sem2mutex: ipc, id.sem
